This 2x2 twill weave is our most popular carbon fiber fabric. This 3K tow (3000 filiments per fiber) fabric provides outstanding structural strength with a signature appearance that is highly desirable for modern composite parts in the aerospace, auto, marine, and sporting goods industries.

When compared to plain weave counterparts, the twill weave offers greater conformability, presents a beautiful herringbone texture, and delivers a slight edge in strength. In fact, our #1069 boasts an ultimate tensile strength of at least 610 KSI—most competitors offer only around 500 KSI.

3K, 2 x 2 Twill Weave Carbon Fiber Fabric Kit Features

• Twill weave provides signature aesthetics and ease of use
• Highest quality aerospace fibers used for unmatched reliability
• Unmatched strength to weight ratio
• High Modulus for superior rigidity
• Fire resistant material
• Fatigue resistance for durable strength

3K, 2 x 2 Twill Weave Carbon Fiber Fabric Kit Tips

• Ideal for making high-strength, light weight parts that don't need to withstand high temperatures
• To maximize strength properties, use with an epoxy, like our System 2001 Epoxy Resin (#2001).
• For added conformability, lay up the fabric at a 45-degree bias inside molds.
• Twill fabrics are prone to unraveling when cut. Be sure to use our #1735-A Perfect Line Tape, or Dritz Fray Check, #1713-A.

What is the 3K 2x2 Twill Weave Carbon Fiber Fabric Kit?

The 3K 2x2 Twill Weave Carbon Fiber Fabric Kit from Fibre Glast is a complete carbon fiber fabrication package that bundles the company's most popular carbon fiber fabric with the resin, hardener, mixing supplies, and mold release needed to complete a project.

Available in two sizes, these kits take the guesswork out of material selection by pairing the #1069 3K twill weave carbon with a proven epoxy system and essential fabrication supplies — everything needed to produce high-quality carbon fiber composite parts.

The 3K, 2 x 2 Twill Weave Carbon Fiber Fabric Small Kit (#3028-A) includes:

• 3 yd roll of 3K, 2x2 Twill Weave Carbon Fiber Fabric (#1069)
• System 2000 Epoxy Resin, quart (#2000-A)
• 20 Minute Epoxy Cure, ½ pint (#2020-A)
• Quart Mixing Set (#588-A)
• Quart Starter Kit (#591-A)
• PVA, quart (#13-A)
• Partall Paste Wax, 12 oz. (#1016-F)

The 3K, 2 x 2 Twill Weave Carbon Fiber Fabric Large Kit (#3028-B) includes:

• 10 yd roll of 3K, 2x2 Twill Weave Carbon Fiber Fabric (#1069)
• System 2000 Epoxy Resin, gallon (#2000-B)
• 60 Minute Epoxy Cure, quart (#2060-B)
• Gallon Mixing Set (#589-A)
• Gallon Starter Kit (#592-A)
• PVA, quart (#13-A)
• Partall Paste Wax, 12 oz. (#1016-F)

Why Choose a Kit Over Ordering Components Separately?

The kits pair matched components that are designed to work together, removing the uncertainty of selecting compatible resins, hardeners, and supplies individually.

The System 2000 Epoxy included in both kits is specifically recommended by Fibre Glast for maximizing carbon fiber strength properties.

The kits also include mold release supplies (PVA and Partall Paste Wax) and mixing equipment, so fabricators have everything they need from the start.

For those new to carbon fiber fabrication or for experienced fabricators starting a defined project, the kits offer a streamlined way to get all the essentials in one order.

The Small Kit with its 20 Minute Epoxy Cure is suited for smaller parts where faster working time is acceptable, while the Large Kit includes 60 Minute Epoxy Cure for larger layups that require more open time to properly wet out and position the fabric.

What Are the Best Applications for the Carbon Fiber Kit?

The kits use the same #1069 3K twill weave fabric that is ideal for high-strength, lightweight parts in the aerospace, auto, marine, and sporting goods industries.

The 3K tow woven in a 2x2 twill pattern delivers the signature herringbone appearance highly desirable for modern composite parts, with an ultimate tensile strength of at least 610 KSI.

When compared to plain weave counterparts, the twill weave offers greater conformability and a slight edge in strength.

This fabric is ideal for making parts that don't need to withstand high temperatures.

How Should the Kit Be Used for Best Results?

For best results, start by applying the included Partall Paste Wax and PVA to your mold as release agents before beginning the layup.

Cut the carbon fiber fabric to size, keeping in mind that twill weaves are prone to unraveling when cut. For added conformability on complex shapes, lay the fabric at a 45-degree bias inside molds.

Mix the System 2000 Epoxy Resin with the included cure agent according to the product instructions, and wet out the fabric thoroughly for consistent results.
